I have mixed thoughts on dry burning. Yeah, it'll get some of the gunk off but just a little too much "burn" and the wicks start to provide such a lovely, funky taste. Go a little further and you have a "long", opposite of a short and it's useless. Other than the burn with water in the wicks when I've refilled from cleaning, I don't bother any more.

I'm with you awsum, since my primary device has become a bf atty I stopped dry burning. Rinsing out with water and maybe a vodka soak is all I do now.

If you're using a manual, keep inhaling for a few seconds after you let go of the button.

The problem is that, with an auto, it's going to keep firing as long as you inhale. There's going to be steam left in the tube, which will condense once it cools back down. This will cause the problem you are talking about. The tube for the t3 is pretty long, making this worse than a x2 clearo, especially with the t3 being bottom coil.

I just give mine a water rinse after every 3-4 fills. Have no issues with mine after 5-6 fills.

Deb.. stop drooling in the tube! I know the juice is good but really...

sorry.. that was just too easy

I have a auto's also and I've found that if after you take it out of your mouth, you do just the opposite of what we do with everything else and point it mouth piece down it helps - I have a tooth brush holder with 4 good size holes and a paper towel in the bottom.. vape one til it gets hot.. put it in the stand and move to the next one

granted if it's on passthru that won't work...

Just like everything else, you have to make it work for you. I'm loving the t3 and want nothing else for vapeing. But you have to find what works for you. If you can deal with wiping your battery post every so often then the t3 is for you
im loving them to....see what happens when manual arrives

I have more autos than manuals. When I have the T3 on an auto, after drawing the vapor in, seeing the vapor cloud in the mouthpiece, I ever so lightly draw the vapor cloud out of the mouthpiece. Doing it lightly will not fire the auto but will get the lingering vapor out of the mouthpiece, preventing the cloud from liquifying and draining back down the airtube. Haven't had any pooling on the battery post since I've used this method. I'm loving the T3 on the auto X2 more and more... and with two of the holes closed, it's great. Manuals on a whole are not my favorite but I use them to keep in rotation. You will find there will be a learning curve to get a method that will work for you when your manual battery arrives. Push button... inhale... release button before you stop inhaling. In the beginning you will really have to keep that in mind. With practice, it gets better. One added benefit with the manual is pushing the button a couple of seconds before taking the first inhale... you will get a really strong burst of flavor that you don't get with the auto X2. Just relating my own personal experience for you to consider.
